Bamboo

So...  I may not have a Target to run to every other day to buy something I need, but I do have a plethora of natural supplies.  Living here I have been challenged to use the resources that are available to be creative and to make beautiful things.  A wonderful thing about living in a tropical country is the ability to use the environment and natural beauty. 

So I wanted to use some bamboo for a project I was making.  I told Frai and her brother Luis.  Luis's response... "Oh I know where we can get some. Let's go!" 

Here's our adventure.  :)

We walked down the road…

We crossed a river…

We found bamboo shoots…

How Beautiful is my new home?  Serious.

We cut bamboo…

I also cut some bamboo with that same machete

We encountered a bee hive…

We smiled for the camera because the trip was a success….

Notice the awesome Machete

We crossed back over the river…

Yes, I followed in after him with the smaller pieces.

 

And Then I began the creation of bamboo project #1…

Beautiful Bamboo!

 My earrings finally have a home.  

Final Product!

  Best part...I made this for completely free!  With more ideas and projects to come! So excited.
